When I click to insert a block from the Icon Menu, AutoCAD Electrical will search the schematic library list in order from top to bottom until it finds the block specified by the icon I clicked. I place this folder first in the schematic list, in case I have copied one of the stock symbols into my custom symbols folder and made changes. Like Brad said, it is best to keep custom symbols in a common folder.
We really don’t just on folder filled with a bunch of files of lis every floder in the project settings. Setting our Library in a different configuration.Getting the Schematic Library path to search all sub folders.I tried adding a * to the end of our Schematic Library path hoping it would pick up all the sub folders but this didn’t work. I believe this is due to our folder structure. Again for the horizontal this works fine but when I tested the vertical symbols the symbol isn’t found. The parent horizontal was selected for the Icon menu with the WD_3UNIT in front of it. Today I build a horizontal and vertical parent and child symbols. This all works out ok for single Icon menu items where you can browse right to the file. This folded has many sub folders in it based on the family type of the component. In addition to this our company has added a folder for custom built symbols. Our system is set up with the standard AutoCAD Electrical symbols on our network. Have you found out how to sort this issue? I am desperate to know how.I ran into a bit of a Schematic Library path issue today. But when I insert the symbol to the schematic diagram, it inserts the previous one. I Have checked the symbol drawing, it is the latest one. I am experiencing same issue with the overwriting the symbol in the symbol builder. I have been able to save them as a separate file as a workaround but my symbol library is starting to get muddied up with so many different versions of each symbol. Can anyone help me with this? I have 22 MCC's (72" x 72") to design and this is really hindering me. However, when I try to insert the symbol, none of the changes I made show up it is still the original symbol I created.
After making my changes I am prompted if I want to overwrite the existing files, and I select yes. The problem I am having is when I want to edit those symbols I created. I am fairly new to AutoCAD Electrical but I have created some symbols using the symbol builder.
